WARREN A “bad landlord” with dozens of outstanding tickets for blight at several properties was reportedly arrested by Warren police on July 8 after a “24-hour stakeout” at a rental home on Hudson Avenue, west of Van Dyke Avenue.
“This chronic out-of-state landlord is a resident of Cleveland, Ohio,” Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said.
Announcing the arrest on Facebook, Fouts added, “His homes are despicable and clearly blighted!”
According to the mayor, the man had 69 outstanding tickets related to allegedly blighted homes over the last three years. Violations of the International Property Maintenance Code were also cited.
Motorists who travel Chicago Road between Van Dyke Avenue and Mound Road are familiar with the washboard-like feel of the pavement and the rough ride over the railroad tracks.
Now, Warren Fire Commissioner Skip McAdams is blaming road and rail conditions for damage incurred by a department fire truck recently.
Fire station four is located at 6361 Chicago Road across from the General Motors Technical Center.

According to McAdams, a shock tower and steering control were damaged last week. He believes a previous break to one of the shock towers in June was caused by the exceptionally rough railroad tracks and the recent damages to the other shock tower and steering control may have been incurred at that time also, but were undetected.
